Memoires,  contenant  les  vies  des  hommes  illustres  et  grands  capi- 
taines  etrangers  de  son  terns.    2v.     1739. 

Brantome  (c.  1 540-1614)  was  a  French  soldier  and  courtier. 

"The  great  merit  of  Brantome  lies  in  the  extraordinary  vividness  of  his  powers  of 
literary  presentment ...  His  irregular,  brightly  coloured,  and  easily  flowing  manner, 
represents,  as  hardly  any  age  has  ever  been  represented,  the  characteristics  of  the  great 
society  of  his  time...  [His]  unquestioning  acceptance  of,  and  belief  in,  the  moral  stand- 
ards of  his  own  society,  give  a  genuineness  and  a  freshness  to  his  work  which  are  very 
rare  in  literature.  Few  writers,  again,  have  had  the  knack  of  hitting  off  character, 
superficially  it  is  true,  yet  with  sufficient  distinction,  which  Brantome  has."  Saints- 
bury's  Short  history  of  French  literature.

taines  frangois  de  son  terns.    4v.     1739. 

"Indifferent  to  honor  and  morality,  he  is  an  impartial  witness  to  the  vice  and  crime 

of  his  epoch.     None  has  mirrored  more  truly  the  Valois  court  or  its  moral  ideas."     New 

international  encyclopaedia.

Reminiscences  of  some  of  the  earlier  members  of  a  famous  literary  society  of  Cam- 
bridge University,  humorously  dubbed  the  "Apostles"  because  its  membership  was 
limited  to  12.  It  was  in  its  prime  between  1824  and  1840,  and  has  numbered  among  its 
members  -some  of  the  most  distinguished  Englishmen  of  the  century.  Henry  Sidgwick 
was  a  prominent  "Apostle"  and  in  the  recently  published  memoir  of  his  life  (92  S5682) 
there  are  many  interesting  allusions  to  the  society.

psychological  importance  of  the  autobiography.  Eight  hundred  biographies  in  Latin, 
French,  German,  English  and  Italian  have  furnished  the  groundwork  for  investigations 
of  the  "obscure  and  important  questions  of  the  subjective  tendency  in  private  history,  of 
the  standards  of  sincerity,  and  of  the  relative  value  of  the  deliberate  self-study  and  the 
unconscious  self-revelation."

Hall  (1800-89)  was  an  author  and  editor  who  seems  to  have  been  more  or  less 
intimate  with  the  literary  people  of  the  England  of  his  day  and  to  have  been  on  a  friend- 
ly footing  with  many  of  the  artists.

Chiefly  pen  portraits  of  the  author's  friends  and  contemporaries.  Many  of  the 
papers  have  a  peculiar  interest,  either  because  they  bring  out  an  unfamiliar  phase  of  a 
well-known  character,  or  because  they  introduce  the  reader  to  some  little  known  but 
unique  personality.

House  in  St.  Martin's  street;  being  chronicles  of  the  Burney  family.

The  book  is  named  from  the  house  of  Sir  Isaac  Newton,  which  was  occupied  by 
the  Burneys  from  1774  to  1783,  but  in  reality  the  book  follows  the  family  about,  es- 
pecially Fanny,  to  Streatham,  Bath,  Brighton  and  elsewhere,  in  such  a  way  that  the 
title  is  something  of  a  misnomer.

"The  forming  of  this  famous  portrait-gallery  had  been  one  of  the  Chancellor's 
magnificent  passions. .  .The  quality  of  the  collection  was  more  remarkable  than  its 
number:  for  it  was  not  made  at  haphazard,  but  selected  by  design,  under  the  eye  of 
one  by  whom  all  that  was  eminent  in  English  story  was  thoroughly  known  and  ap- 
preciated, and  comprised  what  he  considered  the  elite  of  the  nation  during  the  most 
stirring  years  of  all  its  annals,  from  the  Armada  to  the  Restoration."  Edinburgh  re-

history  and  genealogy  of  this  ancient  Scottish  family. 

"To  a  Norman  gentleman,  M.  Toustain  de  Richebourg,  our  chronicler  is  indebted 
for  many  of  his  archaeological  materials;  while  abundance  of  lighter  matter,  concerning 
more  modern  times  and  persons,  has  been  gathered  from  journals,  diaries,  and  memorials 

kept  by  the  Lindsays It  is  by  no  means  a  constant  fact  that  every  heraldic  painter 

shall  execute  his  labour  of  love  and  reverence  with  so  much  sincerity,  delicacy  and 
patience  as  Lord  Lindsay  has.  He  has  given  us  a  book  which  Scott  would  have  de- 
lighted to  honour."     Athenceum,  1849.

had  learned  to  know  a  little  in  Lockhart  and  other  writers  of  memoirs.  Some  of  the 
material  is  from  printed  sources,  but  a  great  deal  of  it  Miss  Maccunn  has  drawn  from 
stores  of  unpublished  correspondence.  Beyond  its  burden  of  entertainment  the  chief 
merit  of  the  book  is  the  light  it  throws  on  the  genesis  of  Scott's  poems  and  novels.  Con- 
densed from  Nation,  igio.

"Authorities  consulted,"  v.  i,  p.  15-17. 

This  work  saps  the  foundations  of  many  a  time-honored  misconception  built  upon 
stories  that  cannot  bear  critical  examination.  The  author  places  before  us  the  results 
of  the  most  recent  research,  impartially  sifting  the  evidence  as  he  goes;  it  is  we  who 
draw  the  inevitable  conclusions.  In  the  course  of  his  survey  he  conscientiously  ex- 
amines the  life  of  each  member  of  the  Medici  family  whose  name  has  come  down  to 
posterity.  The  work  accordingly  comprises  more  than  a  hundred  biographical  sketches 
of  members  of  the  house  of  Medici,  beginning  with  its  founder  Giovanni  di  Bicci,  and 
ending  with  the  electress  Anna  Maria  Ludovica;  while  the  connected  subjects  upon 
which  it  throws  light  are  of  the  most  varied  character.    Condensed  from  Athencnim,  1909.

The  sixth  duke  of  Albemarle  (i  799-1 891)  was  both  a  soldier  and  a  traveler.  Thi» 
record  of  his  life,  which  comes  only  to  1854,  is  vivaciously  written  and  interspersed 
with  many  anecdotes,  especially  of  his  early  years  when  he  spent  much  time  at  the  court 
of  George  IV  as  the  playfellow  of  the  princess  Charlotte.

Mr  Greenslet  has  brought  to  his  work  delicacy  and  reticenc/;,  together  with  a  skill- 
in  words  that  reproduces  something  of  the  charm  of  one  who  made  refinement  the  end 
of  all  his  labor.  He  tells  just  enough  of  the  child's  surrounding^s  at  Portsmouth,  of  the 
clerk  and  youthful  editor  in  New  York;  he  follows  the  man  sympathetically  through  his 
Boston  years  of  prosperous  toil  and  golden  ease,  to  the  honored  close.  It  is  a  happy  life- 
gracefully  told.    Condensed  from  Nation,  igo8.

English  historian  (1792-1867). 

"The  last  volume  of  his  autobiography  contains  full  details  of  many  interviews  with 
distinguished  persons  in  London  and  elsewhere,  his  reception  at  the  houses  of  the

Allingham  was  an  Irish  poet.  The  interest  of  his  diary  depends  little  on  his  own 
literary  achievements  and  much  on  the  fame  of  his  friends,  the  chief  of  whom  were 
Tennyson  and  Carlyle.  Rossetti  and  Browning  are  often  mentioned  and  a  host  of  lesser 
literary  names.  Allingham  knew  how  to  draw  the  best  from  his  friends  in  conversation 
and  we  learn  much  of  their  characteristics  from  his  pages.

Delia  Bacon  (181 1-59)  was  an  American  author  who  zealously  advocated  the 
Baconian  authorship  of  Shakespeare's  plays.  She  lived  for  five  years  in  England  while 
making  her  researches.  The  story  of  her  life  is  tragic,  for  her  brilliant  though  unsound 
mind  finally  gave  way  under  the  strain  of  her  delusion,  but  her  biography  has  interest 
and  value,  if  only  for  the  glimpse  it  gives  of  her  friends,  Hawthorne,  Carlyle  and  Emer- 
son. The  former  was  from  first  to  last  her  faithful  and  devoted  friend,  and  all  three 
were  her  correspondents.  Emerson  served  as  her  channel  of  communication  with  editors 
and  publishers.

For  the  most  part  an  impartial  plain-speaking,  well-informed  account  of  a  wonder- 
ful personality.  Mr  Lawton  has  not  made  any  notable  additions  to  the  materials  for 
Balzac's  biography,  but  he  has  gathered  up  nearly  all  the  most  illuminative  anecdotes, 
and  retold  most  of  the  bits  of  history  collected  by  various  experts  from  printed  and 
manuscript  sources.  He  has  also  sketched  the  plots  of  many  of  the  principal  novels. 
If  there  be  any  admirers  of  Balzac  who  are  sensitive  to  criticism  of  his  manners  and 
habits,  they  may  be  advised  to  leave  Mr  Lawton's  stout  book  unread.  Condensed  from

He  evinces  a  fair  degree  of  sympathy;  and  he  has  been  wise  enough  to  let  Mr.  Bancroft

Author  (b.  1847)  is  now  (1909)  best  known  for  her  connection  with  theosophy,  but

The  author  participated  actively  in  American  affairs  of  the  last  three-quarters  of 
the  century.  He  was  for  12  years  one  of  the  editors  of  the  New  York  "Evening  post," 
was  consul  at  Paris,  1861-64,  arid  minister  to  France,  1864-67.  His  recollections  are 
full  of  memories  of  American  statesmen  of  the  middle  19th  century  and  letters  from 
public  men  of  distinction.  Especially  full  and  frequent  are  the  letters  from  Charles 
Sumner,  an  intimate  friend.  These  three  ample  volumes  close  with  his  retirement  from 
the  diplomatic  service.

journeys — through  Tibet,  Persia,  Armenia,  Manchuria,  Korea,  Australia,  the  United 
States  and  elsewhere,  visiting  places  where  no  white  woman  had  ever  been.  She  care- 
fully recorded  all  that  she  saw.  Her  biographer  gives  many  extracts  from  her  letters 
of  description  and  succeeds  also  in  bringing  out  her  attractive  personal  side.

and  ed.  by  his  nephew,  A.  S.  Walker.     1910.    Blackwood. 

Blackie  (1809-95)  was  a  Scottish  philologrist,  for  30  years  professor  of  Greek  in  the 
University  of  Edinburgh.  The  letters  to  his  parents  cover  about  two  years  and  a  half, 
while  he  was  a  student  in  Germany  and  Italy.  The  youthful  letters  are  followed  by 
others  written  ten  years  later  to  Miss  Wyld,  whom  he  afterward  married.  The  rest  of 
the  correspondence,  and  the  largest  part,  covers  Blackie's  married  life,  1843-95.  The 
letters  are  various  in  theme  but  uniform  in  their  tone  of  steadily  sustained  cheerful- 
ness.    They  contain  references  to  nearly  all  the  distinguished  men  of  his  time.

Written  between  1869  and  1889,  mostly  to  her  children,  they  at  first  abound  in 
domestic  detail,  but  later  reveal  more  clearly  both  her  own  and  her  husband's  likeable 
personalities.  The  allusions  to  him  and  his  more  famous  contemporaries  are  utterly 
free,  and  sometimes  very  intimate,  evidently  made  without  the  slightest  idea  of  publi- 
cation.

and  his  account  of  the  poet  is  the  best  contemporary  document  we  have... Mr.  Russell's

Diary  and  reminiscences  alluding  to  Blake.  Mr  Symons's  own  contribution  to  the  work 
affords  an  admirable  criticism  of  Blake  as  artist,  poet  and  thinker  and  settles  a  number

whose  salon,  during  the  first  half  of  the  19th  century  was  frequented  by  many  dis- 
tinguished persons.  Her  vivacious  memoirs  throw  many  sidelights  on  events  from  the 
reign  of  Louis  XVI  to  the  revolution  of  1848.  She  relates  much  of  the  gossip  of  her 
time  and  her  personalities  are  often  touched  with  prejudice.

philanthropic  effort  in  the  United  States  during  a  quarter  of  a  century.  Not  only  has 
the  society  which  he  built  up  in  New  York  done  an  immense  work,  but  his  system  has

Brooks  (1815-74)  was  from  an  early  age  a  voluminous  contributor  to  the  press,  be- 
sides writing  a  number  of  novels.  In  1870  he  assumed  the  editorship  of  "Punch."  He 
was  a  great  talker  of  the  old  sort;  a  tremendous  writer,  turning  out  jokes,  poems,  parlia- 
mentary reports,  any  kind  of  "copy,"  with  incredible  ease — a  born  journalist.  His  let- 
ters are  of  the  kind  that  must  have  filled  the  recipient  with  joy,  but  that  somehow  in 
cold  print,  half  a  century  later,  sound  forced  and  schoolboyish.  Condensed  from  Nation,

Readable  volume  of  appreciation,  written  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  negro. 
Disappointing  in  that  it  betrays  little  original  research  and  contains  many  inaccuracies, 
partly  because  the  author  has  relied  on  his  predecessors  in  the  field.  The  last  chapter 
is  a  notable  discussion  of  the  race  question  as  it  stands  to-day  in  the  light  of  John 
Brown's  sacrifice.

"Bibliography,"  p.689— 709. 

No  pains  have  been  spared  to  produce  a  biography  both  accurate  and  complete. 
Author  has  traced  Brown's  life  from  day  to  day  throughout  the  entire  active  period  of 
his  career,  has  gone  minutely  over  the  ground  on  which  he  operated,  and  tested  every 
printed  or  verbal  statement  with  the  rigid  thoroughness  of  a  laboratory  investigator. 
We  have  here  a  book,  and  the  only  book,  in  which  the  unquestioned  facts  of  John 
Brown's  career  are  completely  exhibited.  If  the  author's  conclusions  differ  from  the 
conclusions  of  others,  he  cannot  be  charged  with  either  withholding  or  distorting  the 
evidence  upon  which  they  are  based.     Condensed  from  Nation,  1910.

Oscar  Browning  (b.  1837)  was  master  of  Eton  from  i860  to  1875  and  has  been 
lecturer  in  history  and  political  science  at  Cambridge  since  1876.  He  has  found  his 
supreme  interest  in  the  education  of  statesmen,  and  he  looks  upon  Mr  Gerald  Balfour 
and  Lord  Curzon,  whom  he  taught,  as  works  of  his  hand.  His  book  is  personal  from 
beginning  to  end,  but  never  self-important.

Contains  some  30  letters  from  Browning  and  Joseph  Arnould,  afterwards  judge  of 
the  Supreme  court  of  Bombay,  to  Alfred  Domett,  who  went  as  a  colonist  to  New  Zealand 
in  1842  and  remained  there  for  30  years.  The  letters  are  those  of  friends  and  are 
chiefly  occupied  with  the  personal  affairs  of  the  writers.  The  volume  is  of  much  inter- 
est if  only  as  showing  Browning's  sympathetic  nature  and  gift  for  friendship.

"The  late  Professor  Hall  Griffin  was  an  enthusiastic  student  of  Browning,  and  had 
collected  a  large  amount  of  biographical  and  illustrative  material.  Among  other  things, 
he  discovered  the  diary  of  Alfred  Domett;  he  visited  and  identified  all  Browning's 
homes,  early  and  late;  and  his  friendship  with  the  Browning  family  and  with  some  of 
Browning's  closest  friends  gave  him  access  to  many  unpublished  sources  of  information 
. . .  Book  is  more  than  a  thesaurus  of  facts.  It  is  admirably  written,  and  full  of  good 
sense  and  good  judgment.  It  does  not  attempt  to  provide  any  elaborate  critical  ap- 
paratus, but  such  criticism  as  is  given  seems  to  us  exceptionally  balanced  and  sane.  The 
book  is  primarily  a  biography,  and  in  the  second  place  a  history  of  literary  influences 
and  the  genesis  of  the  poems."     Spectator.  1910.

Sir  William  Butler  (1838-1910)  was  an  Irish  soldier  who  served  under  Lord  Wolse- 
Icy  in  Canada,  in  Ashanti,  in  Egypt  and  in  South  Africa.  The  most  interesting  part  of 
the  book  is  perhaps  to  be  found  in  the  last  three  chapters  which  relate  to  the  South 
African  war.  Disapproving  of  the  British  management  of  the  situation,  just  before  the 
outbreak  of  hostilities  he  resigned  his  command  and  returned  to  England.  The  auto- 
biography ends  at  this  point  but  there  is  a  brief  supplementary  chapter  by  his  daughter. 
The  book  makes  agreeable  reading,  both  from  the  vigor  of  the  narrative  and  from  the 
frankness  of  the  views  expressed.

Cardano  (1501-76)  was  an  Italian  mathematician,  physician,  astrologer  and  author, 
one  of  the  most  interesting  characters  connected  with  the  revival  of  science  in  Europe. 
The  work  of  Cardano's  which  retains  most  interest  for  this  generation  is  his  auto- 
biography, "De  vita  propria."  In  its  clearness  and  frankness  of  self-revelation  it  stands 
alone  among  records  of  its  class  and  may  be  compared  with  the  autobiography  of  Ben- 
venuto  Cellini.  Professor  Morley  has  ably  condensed  Cardano's  autobiography  and  at 
the  same  time  supplemented  it  by  information  from  the  general  body  of  his  writings 
and  other  sources,

Carlyle  was  a  Scottish  clergyman,  an  eloquent  debater  and  skilful  leader  in  the 
General  Assembly. 

"His  'Autobiography'  gives  a  most  agreeable  impression  of  him  as  a  genial,  cul- 
tivated, liberal-minded,  and  sagacious  minister  of  the  kirk,  who  united  to  the  breadth  of 
the  man  of  the  world  a  sincere  devotion  to  what  he  considered  to  be  the  true  interests 
of  his  order,  and  it  is  unrivalled  as  a  picture  of  the  Edinburgh  and  Scotch  society  of  his

Mr  Conway's  personal  intercourse  with  Carlyle  was  long-continued  and  intimate  and 
he  has  given  evidently  a  faithful  and  trustworthy  delineation  of  the  man.  The  book  is 
rich  in  anecdote  and  conversation,  especially  that  relating  to  Carlyle's  early  life.  The 
most  interesting  part  is  the  correspondence,  containing  extracts  from  letters  written  by 
Carlyle  to  two  college  friends  between  the  years  1814  and  1824,  when  Carlyle  was  a 
young  tutor.  There  are  also  letters  to  Leigh  Hunt  and  several  other  persons.  Con-

1909.    Unwin. 

By  a  friend  and  fellow-countryman  of  Carlyle.     First  published  in  1881. 

Masterly  little  biography;  a  picture  deftly  painted  and  pleasant,  yet  far  above  the 
mere  art  of  the  portrait-painter;  appreciative  to  the  verge  of  hero-worship,  but  stopping 
short  at  that  point  where  hero-worship  becomes  idolatry: — a  bit  of  work,  indeed,  which 
it  would  be  hard  to  surpass  for  sympathy,  delicacy,  liberality  of  view,  and  wealth  of 
friendly  insight.  Read,  as  it  should  be  read,  after  the  "Reminiscences,"  it  purifies  the 
memory  of  certain  igfnoble  moods.     Condensed  from  Contemporary  review,  1881.

Castiglione  (1478-1529)  was  an  Italian  author  and  statesman  whose  "Libro  del 
cortegiano,"  a  manual  for  courtiers,  was  one  of  the  most  widely  popular  books  of  the 
period,  both  in  Italy  and  elsewhere.  It  is  notable  for  the  high  ideals  which  it  sets  forth 
as  to  the  qualities  of  the  perfect  courtier.

"As  this  work  was  not  published  until  the  outbreak  of  the  Crimean  War,  the  ques- 
tion of  its  genuineness  was  everywhere  raised.  From  internal  evidence  it  is  now  gener- 
ally accepted  as  authentic;  though  it  was  long  in  the  hands  of  Catherine's  imperial 
successors,  and  the  proof  that  it  was  not  tampered  with  is  not  quite  complete.  The 
volume  has  to  do  almost  exclusively  with  Catherine's  early  years.  But  it  is  a  most 
extraordinary  uncovering  of  Russian  court  life.  The  imbecility  of  Peter  the  Third,  the 
dissimulation  and  ambition  of  his  wife,  the  mixture  of  barbarism  and  brutality  that 
everywhere  prevailed,  are  nowhere  else  more  graphically  portrayed."  Adams's  Manual

"Godwin,  while  nominally  writing  a  life  of  Chaucer,  looked  upon  biography  as 
nothing  more  than  an  entrance  into  the  broader  fields  of  social  and  political  history, 
where  it  was  permitted  him  to  disport  himself  at  will . . .  He  seemed,  moreover,  constitu- 
tionally incapable  of  sifting  truth  from  error,  and  was  especially  inclined  to... stating 

as   true   what   he  was   anxious   should   be   true He   added   something  specific   to   our

"John — who  was  as  exclusively  known  to  his  contemporaries  by  that  name  as  he 
is  to  us  by  his  complimentary  title  of  Chrysostom  or  the  'golden-mouthed' — is  one  of

profound  a  theologian  than  Athanasius,  or  Augustine,  or  Gregory  of  Nazianzus . . .  less 
learned  than  Origen  or  Jerome;  less  practically  successful  than  Ambrose,  he  yet  com- 
bines so  many  brilliant  gifts  that  he  stands  almost  supreme  among  the  Doctores  Ecclesiae 
as  an  orator,  as  an  exegete,  as  a  great  moral  reformer,  as  a  saint  and  confessor."

Randolph  Churchill  as  to  exploit  somewhat  droUy  her  beauty  and  personal  charm.  The

"It  has  seemed  to  the  writer  not  only  an  obligation  of  friendship  but  of  patriotism 
to  make  some  record  of  the  personality  of  Mr.  Cleveland,  as  revealed  in  an  intimacy  of 
many  years.  The  large  traits  of  his  character,  and  those  imptortant  public  services  which 
far  transcended  partisan  accomplishment,  have  made  their  impress  upon  the  American 
people  and  the  world. .  .Sympathetic  speakers  and  writers  have  told  much,  also,  of  his 
characteristics  and  his  daily  walk,  but  the  full  portrait  has  not  yet  been  rounded  out. 
I  desire  merely  to  add  a  few  intimate  touches  to  that  portrait,  not  thinking  to  complete 
it;  but  only  to  help  loyally  toward  its  completion."    Introduction.

"The  book  is  properly  named.  There  is  a  preliminary  sketch  of  Cleveland's  life 
before  he  became  a  national  figure,  and  hardly  any  really  important  event  of  his  career 
goes  entirely  unmentioned:  but  the  book  is  not  a  biogrraphy. .  .Mr.  Parker's. .  .are  not  the 
only  recollections  the  book  contains.  Others  of  Cleveland's  friends  have  contributed  to 
his  store,  and  perhaps  the  most  valuable  of  all  are  certain  of  Qeveland's  own,  given 
from  time  to  time  in  conversation,  dealing  with  some  of  the  most  interesting  episodes 
of  his  career  and  with  the  best-known  of  his  contemporaries.  And  yet,  although 
thoroughly  reminiscential,  the  book  is  not  light  and  gossipy,  or  of  a  newspaper  or  maga- 
zine flavor,  but  a  careful  presentment  of  a  great  public  character  as  seen  by  his  inti-

He  emigrated  to  America  in  1792  and  began  the  publication  of  "Porcupine's  gazette," 
which  upheld  the  Federal  side  in  politics.  Twice  prosecuted  for  libel,  he  returned  to 
England  and  started  his  famous  "Weekly  political  register,"  which,  from  being  a  Tory 
organ,  gradually  changed  its  politics  and  became  the  determined  opponent  of  the  govern-

"The  especial  interest  of  this  autobiography  aside  from  the  simple,  straight-forward 
account  of  the  author's  own  life  and  work,  lies  in  the  sincere  report  of  impressions  of 
contemporary  men  and  women,  and  in  the  prominence  given  to  socialistic  ideas  and 
movements  started  by  William  Morris.  Most  is  told,  naturally,  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite 
group  of  painters,  the  promoters  of  the  arts  and  crafts  movement,  and  their  friends, 
with  whom  he  had  most  to  do.  Walter  Crane  may  perhaps  claim  a  wider  interest  among 
men  than  some  of  his  greater  confreres,  by  reason  of  the  variety  of  expression  which 
his  art  found  for  itself."    A.  L.  A.  booklist,  igo8.

The  book  can  rightly  claim  to  be  the  first  considerable  biography  of  Cranmer  which 
has  been  written  according  to  the  canons  of  modern  scientific  historical  work.  It  is 
obviously  based  in  large  measure  on  original  research;  it  is  clear,  and  for  the  most  part 
consistent  and  convincing;  and  though  it  contains  nothing  that  is  startlingly  new,  it  ar- 
ranges in  useful  and  readable  form  a  vast  amount  of  hitherto  scattered  and  not  always 
trustworthy  information.     Condensed  from  American  historical  review,  1905.

Curtis  was  one  of  the  foremost  of  Massachusetts  lawyers. 

"The  biographical  part  of  this  memoir,  contained  in  the  first  volume  is  the  work

were  written  not  so  much  to  acquaint  the  recipient  with  the  details  of  the  sender's  life, 
as  to  foster  the  ideal  of  friendship,  and  it  is  with  this  understanding  that  we  must  ap-

that  the  man  of  whom  in  early  life  he  strongly  disapproved  has  suffered  injustice  and 
failed  of  recognition  as  a  most  potent  factor  in  saving  the  Union.  He  makes  very  vivid

Joseph  Dudley  (1647-1720)  was  a  colonial  governor  of  Massachusetts.  Though  an 
able  administrator,  he  frequently  antagonized  the  colonists  by  his  arbitrary  methods  and 
has  been  unfavorably  viewed  by  former  historians.  The  present  study  is  not  intended 
to  meet  the  criticisms  of  his  character  but  rather  to  set  forth  the  Stuart  colonial  policy 
and  Dudley  as  its  exponent.

close  personal  attachment  which  pervades  all  these  letters,  the  last  of  which  was  written

Emerson,  as  a  boy,  kept  a  journal  and  held  to  the  habit  as  long  as  his  powers  re- 
mained. The  journals,  covering  more  than  half  a  century,  constitute  a  remarkable  auto- 
biography of  a  mind,  and  it  was  these  daily  entries  that  he  drew  upon  for  the  raw 
material  of  his  lectures.

Fessenden  (1806-69)  was  one  of  the  leaders  of  the  Republican  party  through  the

found  only  in  part  in  these  volumes,  but  what  is  lacking  in  the  way  of  history  is  more 
than  made  good  by  private  letters  and  memoranda  of  the  senator,  giving  us  his  inmost 
thoughts  at  critical  periods  and  portraying  his  personality  as  no  other  hand  could  do. 
The  arrangement  of  the  matter  is  defective,  but  the  matter  itself  is  of  the  first  class.

a  friend.  Though  of  gentk  birth,  he  was  early  attracted  to  the  life  of  a  tramp  and

Foote  (1720-77)  was  an  English  actor  and  dramatist,  celebrated  in  his  day  as  a  wit. 
Many  anecdotes  concerning  him  are  to  be  found  among  theatrical  ana.  The  three 
dramatic  pieces  here  included  are  the  second  act  of  the  "Diversions  of  the  morning," 
the  "Trial  of  Samuel  Foote,  Esq."  and  an  "Occasional  prelude."

Lord  Lovat  (i667?-i747)  sided  with  the  government  in  the  Jacobite  uprising  of 
171S,  but  with  the  rebels  in  1745-46.  He  was  captured  at  the  battle  of  Culloden,  tried 
for  treason  and  executed.  Forbes  (1685-1747)  was  a  Scottish  judge  and  a  warm  sup- 
porter of  the  government. 

"He  gives authorities  which  show  an  extent  of  research,  among  printed  and  un- 

printed  materials,  for  which...  we  were  not  prepared. .  .The  value  of  his  labours  can 
only  be  acknowledged  by  those  who,  by  having  studied  this  portion  of  our  history,  can 
estimate  the  skill  with  which  he  has  compressed  so  much  into  so  small  a  compass."

English  naturalist  (1815-54). 

"Forbes  lived  an  unusually  full  life,  occupied  in  promoting  science  and  arousing  en-

he  rendered  much  service... He  played  an  important  part  in  elevating  palaeontolog^y  to  a

The  author  of  this  biography  of  the  English  statesman   (1818-86)   was  a  personal 

friend  who  was  also  familiar  with  the  political  affairs  of  the  time.     He  has  made  large

friend.     1885.     Porter. 

"Fortuny  [i838?-74]  was  one  of  the  most  artistic  of  modern  artists;  a  painter  and 
etcher  who,  whatever  the  final  judgment  of  his  brother  artists  upon  his  work  may  prove 
to  be,  is  certain  never  to  be  ignored  by  them... A  number  of  his  letters,  and  a  brief 
and  sympathetic  discussion  of  his  merits  are  contained  in  this  book."  Sturgis  and

Foscari.     1891.    Chiswick  Press. 

Mocenigo  was  doge  of  Venice  from  141 4  to  1423,  and  Foscari,  from  1423  to  1457. 
They  were  politically  at  variance,  the  former  endeavoring  to  maintain  the  position  of 
Venice  by  a  policy  of  peace,  the  latter  standing  for  an  aggressive  policy.

These  volumes  contain  a  personal  record  and  are  to  be  clearly  differentiated  from 
his  three  earlier  works  dealing  with  diplomatic  subjects.  His  long  career  in  the  Amer- 
ican diplomatic  service  affords  him  a  large  fund  of  material  upon  which  to  draw.  He 
has  served  as  minister  to  Mexico,  to  Russia  and  to  Spain;  he  was  prominent  in  the 
Bering  sea  arbitration,  the  Alaskan  boundary  dispute  and  the  Hague  peace  conference, 
and  upheld  China's  interests  in  the  peace  negotiations  with  Japan.

"The  art  of  Birket  Foster  [1825-99]  makes  only  a  limited  appeal  to  modern  taste. 
It  is  somewhat  smug  and  conventional;  it  is  essentially  mid- Victorian  in  its  influence, 
and  yet  there  is  a  quiet  pastoral  charm  about  his  work  which  will  insure  it  a  permanent 
place  in  the  English  school  of  landscape-painters  and  illustrators  of  the  later  half  of 
the  nineteenth  century."     Outlook  (London),  1907.

This  book  was  printed  in  181 2,  but  has  never  before  been  published,  as  the  an- 
tagonistic tone  it  assumed  toward  Fox  made  it  inadvisable  to  bring  it  out  at  the  time. 
It  is  a  commentary  on  John  Bernard  Trotter's  "Memoirs  of  Charles  James  Fox,"  which 
appeared  in  181 1. 

"As  an  historical  estimate  of  Fox  the  book  is  too  polemical  to  have  much  value, 
but  the  style  has  a  rare  energy  and  color."    Nation,  1907.

society.  His  'Recollections,'  which  were  begun  only  in  1837,  show  a  remarkably  keen 
memory,  particularly  for  small  but  picturesque  details,  but  they  are  so  deeply  dyed  in

Private  life  of  Galileo;  comp.  principally  from  his  correspondence 
and  that  of  his  eldest  daughter.  Sister  Maria  Celeste.    1869.    Potter. 

Affords  very  interesting  glimpses  of  the  social  and  domestic  relations  of  Galileo,  in 
which  his  own  character  is  presented  in  the  most  favorable  light.  His  daughter's  letters 
are  so  many  pictures  of  convent  life  in  the  17th  century.

Charles  E.  Garman  (1850-1907)  was  connected  for  25  years  with  the  faculty  of 
Amherst  College,  and  exercised  a  remarkable  influence  as  a  teacher  who  made  philosophy 
a  matter  of  vital  interest  to  young  men.  He  lifted  college  teaching  out  of  mechanical 
and  academic  routine,  and  passing  by  the  opportunity  to  publish  or  to  pursue  original 
investigation,  devoted  all  his  energies  to  being  an  inspiring  teacher.  Appendix  contains 
tributes  by  former  students  who  had  felt  his  charm  and  power.

the  principles  and  convictions,  the  editorial  methods  and  ideals,  the  tastes  and  interests

Mr  Gilman  (i  831-1908)  scored  more,  and  more  various,  successes  than  any  other 
man  who  ever  dealt  with  education  in  America.  Others  may  have  equaled  him  in  the 
quality  of  their  service,  but  none  conducted  so  many  important  enterprises  so  suc- 
cessfully. Deeply  associated  with  the  organization  of  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School 
at  New  Haven,  with  the  upbuilding  of  the  University  of  California,  the  foundation  of 
Johns  Hopkins  University,  and  of  its  Medical  School,  he  found  energy  at  seventy  to 
inaugurate  the  work  of  the  Carnegie  Institution,  and  in  the  last  year  of  his  life  he 
practically  gave  shape  to  the  Russell  Sage  Foundation  for  sociological  and  charitable 
investigation.  In  treating  such  a  career,  the  biographer  had  no  choice  but  to  merge 
the  hero  in  his  causes.  This  Dr  Franklin,  a  former  Johns  Hopkins  colleague,  has 
done,  adding  as  a  sort  of  supplement  a  selection  from  his  intimate  correspondence,  and 
a  brief  sketch  of  his  family  life  by  Mrs  Gilman.  Dr  Franklin  has  set  forth  with  admi- 
rable orderliness  and  lucidity  the  chief  activities  of  a  varied  and  complicated  life.

In  his  life  of  Goethe,  Lewes  speaks  of  Goethe's  mother  as  "one  of  the  pleasantect 
figures  in  German  literature."  The  letters  are  natural  and  delightful,  full  of  pride  in 
her  famous  son,  warmth  of  affection  and  joyousness  of  spirit.

and  the  final  break  between  father  and  son,  between  the  rigid  religion  of  the  past  and 
the  liberality  of  the  present,  which  sacrificed  neither  the  love  of  the  father  nor  the

The  countess  of  Granville  [1806-68]  was  the  daughter  of  the  fifth  duchess  ot 
Devonshire,  famous  for  her  beauty,  and  the  wife  of  a  diplomat  who  at  various  times 
represented  England  at  the  courts  of  St  Petersburg,  The  Hague  and  Paris. 

"Her  letters  to  her  brother  and  sisters,  written  in  all  the  freedom  of  confidential 
intercourse,  are  racy,  graphic,  humorous  and  instinct  with  good  sense  and  right  feeling 
...[Their]  greatest  charm,  however  —  is  the  pathos  which  underlies  their  mirth,  and 
the  true  nobility  of  character  which,  in  scenes  little  favourable  to  serious  thought  or 
delicate  feeling,  preserved  Lady  Granville  throughout  life  wholly  unspotted  by  the  world 
. .  .The  work  forms  an  important  and  most  agreeable  addition  to  our  knowledge  of  Eng*

Sir    Thomas    Gresham    (iSi9?-79)    was    an    English    merchant    and    financier,    to 

whose  shrewd  advice  Queen  Elizabeth's  successful  financial  policy  owed  much.

Easy,  informed  and  sympathetic,  Mr  Davey  is  rightly  equipped  for  the  task  he  set 
himself  in  writing  of  Lady  Jane  Grey.  In  his  account  of  her  nine  days'  sovereignty,  her 
education  and  bringing-up,  he  corrects  some  errors  of  strange  popularity,  and  in  the 
introduction  Mr  Hume  exposes  the  political  situation  in  Europe  and  the  social  condition 
of  England  in  such  a  way  as  to  make  intelligible  much  that  would  confuse  the  average 
man.    The  work  will  please  the  general  public.    Condensed  from  Outlook  (London),  1909.

The  author  of  this  fascinating  book  of  reminiscence  was  born  in  England  in  1848. 
The  next  year  his  father  emigrated  to  America  and  settled  in  the  Illinois  country.  There 
the  sensitive  and  keenly  observant  boy  grew  to  manhood.  The  thread  of  incident  run- 
ning through  the  first  two-thirds  of  the  book  gives  it  somewhat  the  character  of  a  novel, 
but  the  last  chapters  have  slight  connection  with  what  has  gone  before.  Three  chapters 
are  given  to  Fremont  and  his  experiences,  and  there  is  an  admirable  description  of  the 
Lincoln-Douglas  debate,  and  of  the  city  of  St.  Louis  about  i860.  It  is  a  matter  of  regret 
that  a  work  which  makes,  in  large  part,  so  welcome  an  addition  to  autobiographical 
literature  should  not  have  been  more  consistently  carried  out.  Condensed  from  Nation,

Lady  Hamilton  (i76i?-i8is)  was  a  celebrated  English  beauty,  wife  of  Sir  William 
Hamilton,  ambassador  at  Naples.  She  was  a  powerful  influence  in  the  life  of  Lord 
Nelson  and  was  supposed  to  have  played  a  considerable  part  in  the  political  relations  of 
the  court  of  Naples  with  England. 

"Mr.  Walter  Sichel  has  utilised  several  new  'sources'  for  the  life  of  Lady  Hamilton. 
Some  letters  by  her  were  not  acquired  by  the  British  Museum  until  1896  and  were 
therefore  unknown  to  earlier  writers  on  the  Neapolitan  period  of  Nelson's  life;  and 
there  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  author's  treatment  of  the  whole  subject  is  far  more  com-

"Anecdotic  biography  of  the  Governor-General,  with  notices  of  his  friends,  his 
enemies,  his  trial  in  Westminster  Hall,  and  his  later  years.  It  is  admirably  illustrated 
with  portraits  and  views  and  reproductions  of  contemporary  caricatures.  The  author 
is  more  deeply  interested  in  the  personality  than  in  the  achievements  of  his  hero.  He 
does  not  attempt  to  deal  with  the  administration  of  Hastings  in  India  or  with  his 
career  as  a  public  man."     Nation,  1895.

Contents:  Letters  to  B.  H.  Chamberlain. — Letters  to  W.  B.  Mason. — Letters  to  Mrs

"To  those  who  still  practice  the  moribund  art  of  hobnobbing  with  books,  of  being 
intimate  with  them  and  running  in  on  them  for  informal  converse,  the  volume  offers 
endless  possibilities  of  intellectual  stimulus  and  pleasant  intercourse.  Nine-tenths  of  the 
collection  are  letters  to  Basil  Hall  Chamberlain,  the  noted  and  devoted  student  of  Japan 
and  guide,  philosopher  and  familiar  mental  crony  of  Hearn's  Japanese  years.  In  these 
letters  Hearn  has  almost  literally  poured  out  his  mind  to  his  friend.  The  comments  of  a 
keen  critic  of  literature  and  of  life,  the  subtle  characterizations  of  an  intuitively 
sympathetic  observer,  the  whimsies  of  a  child-like  and  sensitive  imagination,  and  the 
joyous  discoveries  and  puzzled  bewilderments  of  a  delver  into  alien  mysteries,  all  tumble 
over  one  another  in  the  fine  disarray  of  an  untrammeled  spontaneity  and  with  the  un- 
sought perfection  of  trained  faculties  at  play."     Life,  1911.

"Bibliography,"  by  Laura  Stedman,  p.336-416. 

Dr  Gould  approaches  the  subject  from  a  novel  point  of  view.  He  is  an  eye  special- 
ist, well  known  for  a  series  of  studies  in  which  he  has  derived  the  eccentricities  of 
various  geniuses  from  faulty  vision.  In  this  respect  Hearn,  with  his  one  eye  intensely 
myopic,  offered  a  tempting  field  which  the  oculist  could  not  avoid.  In  the  actual  details 
of  Hearn's  life,  Dr  Gould  presents  not  much  that  is  new.  The  most  valuable  parts  of 
the  book  are  those  in  which  Hearn's  literary  activities  are  traced.  Besides  a  long  and 
complete  analysis  of  all  his  published  works,  with  extracts  from  the  reviews  of  the  time, 
there  is  also  a  full  bibliography,  which  includes  even  the  manuscripts  left  by  Heam.

Prince  Hohenlohe  (1 819-1901)  was  one  of  the  founders  of  German  unity.  From 
1866  to  1870  he  was  Bavarian  minister  of  foreign  affairs  and  chancellor  of  the  German 
empire,  1894-1900.  His  intimate  political  association  with  Bismarck  enabled  him  to 
contribute  much  of  interest  to  the  story  of  that  statesman's  long  career  and  final  down- 
fall.

it  contains. .  .but  because  it  throws  much  light  on  a  complicated  and  important  series

When  Bishop  Huntington  (1819-1904)  first  entered  the  ministry  he  was  a  Unita- 
rian. Later  his  views  changed  and  he  became  rector  of  an  Episcopal  church  in  Boston 
and  from  1869  until  his  death  he  was  bishop  of  Central  New  York.  The  memoir  goes 
very  little  into  the  discussion  of  theological  questions,  but  shows  rather  the  man  as  his 
family  and  intimate  friends  knew  him.  The  glimpses  which  one  gets  of  his  early  life 
and  later  summers  spent  in  Hadley,  Massachusetts  are  particularly  delightful.

"For  both  facts  and  conclusioas  he  seems  to  rely  chiefly  on  Parton,  Buell,  Sumner, 
Brown,  and  Colyar,  excerpts  from  whose  writings  make  up  no  small  proportion  of  his 
book... His  work  is  further  open  to  objection  as  ill-proportioned,  abounding  in  extreme 
staements,  and  uncritical — defects  which  quite  outweigh  the  considerations  that  it  is 
vivacious,  rich  in  anecdote,  and  thoroughly  readable."     Outlook,  1906.

Dabney  served  on  Jackson's  staff  during  two  campaigns  and  had  access  to  much  of

"Bibliography,"  P.31S-322. 

Sympathetic  narrative  of  Jacqueline's  stormy,  melodramatic  career.  In  spite  of  the 
author's  wide  reading  and  signal  industry,  the  princess's  personality  remains  somewhat 
shadowy,  and  the  volume  is  more  valuable  as  a  consistent  account  of  the  methods  by 
which  Burgrundian  power  was  built  up  in  the  Netherlands.     Many  illustrations.

of  Regnault  Girard  to  Scotland  in  1435-36  for  the  purpose  of  taking  back  to  France  the

Pauline  Marie  Jaricot  (1799-1862)  was  the  daughter  of  a  wealthy  silk  weaver  of 
Lyons.  The  Association  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Faith  was  founded  to  aid  Roman 
Catholic  missions  and  the  Living  Rosary  was  a  devotional  association.  She  was  also 
interested  in  enterprises  for  the  improvement  of  the  condition  of  the  working  classes. 
"It  is  the  life  of  one  of  those  women  who  recall,  in  a  less  conspicuous  way,  St. 
Catharine  of  Siena . . .  She  resembled  her  in  this :  that  being  a  single  woman,  living  at 
home  a  quiet,  obscure  religious  life,  she  yet  left  a  conspicuous  mark  on  the  organization 
of  the  vast  Church  to  which  she  belonged."    AtheiuBum.  igo6.

"When  the  great  collection  of  Jefferson's  manuscripts  was  sold  to  the  United  States 
government,  there  was  reserved  a  mass  of  papers  which  were  deemed  to  be  of  such  « 
private  nature  as  to  possess  no  value  in  the  national  archives,  and  to  belong  more  proper- 
ly to  the  family.  These  eventually  came  into  the  possession  of  Jefferson's  great-grand- 
daughter, and  they  form  the  raison  d'etre  of  this  book.  It  possesses  the  merits  and  de- 
merits which  might  be  expected,  the  documents  being  of  positive  value,  and  the  family 
recollections  and  traditions  of  distinct  interest;  but  the  book  is  faulty  in  method,  being 
both  ill-proportioned  and  disjointed.  It  is,  therefore,  far  more  valuable  to  the  maker 
than  to  the  reader  of  history."     Larned's  Literature  of  American  history.

These  letters,  addressed  to  various  friends  in  America  and  England,  have  the  un- 
usual qualities  which  give  distinction  to  Miss  Jewett's  stories.  They  are  full  of  char-

likings,  keen  criticism  of  books,  and  a  rare  capacity  for  friendship.

While  nowhere  calling  in  question  the  sincerity  of  his  heroine,  M.  France  belittles 
the  part  she  played  in  the  public  events  of  1429-30.  He  attempts  to  explain  away  all 
the  spiritual  side  of  her  history  and  represents  the  Maid  as  an  heroic  but  weak  creature, 
a  visionary,  whose  illusions  physical  science  can  account  for.  He  attempts  to  dear  away 
the  mystery  that  surrounds  her  life  by  advancing  the  theory  that  she  acted  under  the 
advice  of  some  unknown  person.

Kelpius  (1673-1708)  was  a  German  mystic  who  came  to  Germantown  in  1694  and 

settled  later  with  his  followers,  who  were  known  as  the  Hermits  of  the  Ridge,  on  the

"Bibliography,"  v.2,  p.1223-1274. 

Lord  Kelvin  (1824-1907),  one  of  the  very  few  men  raised  to  the  British  peerage 
for  purely  scientific  achievements,  was  professor  of  natural  philosophy  at  Glasgow 
University  from  1846  to  1899.  The  direct  successor  of  Newton,  he  launched  into  the 
world  the  principle  of  conservation  of  energy,  on  which  the  whole  fabric  of  modern 
physics  was  based.  The  world  knows  him  best  as  the  man  who  has  shown  how  prac- 
tically to  measure  electric  and  magnetic  quantities,  and  has  made  it  possible  to  link 
together  distant  continents  by  the  electric  telegraph. 

"Full  and  authoritative  account  of  his  life  and  work.  This  biography  was  begun 
during  the  life  of  Lord  Kelvin,  and,  in  fact,  had  his  cooperation;  after  his  death,  the 
original  sketch  was  greatly  extended  by  the  materials  furnished  from  his  letters,  diaries, 
and  other  documents  put  at  the  biographer's  disposal.  In  addition  to  the  abundant 
record  thus  available,  Professor  Thompson  had  the  high  privilege  of  being  a  personal 
friend  of  the  great  physicist.  The  result  is  a  book  which  will  appeal  strongly  not 
only  to  men  of  science,  who  have  been  eagerly  awaiting  it,  but  also  to  all  those  who 
have  an  interest  in  the  thought  of  the  nineteenth  century."    Nation,  jgio.

Alfred  Krupp  (1812-87)  was  the  son  and  successor  of  the  founder  of  the  great 
Krupp  steel-works  at  Essen,  Germany.  This  brief  biography  describes  the  rapid  develop-

It  should  be  said  in  praise  and  definition  of  Mr  Cortissoz's  adroit  and  sympathetic 
study  that  no  opinion  and  no  phrase  in  it  would  disappoint  La  Farge  himself.  It  gives 
admirably  the  subtle  and  vivid  thinker,  the  fastidious  talker,  the  delightful  man  of  the 
world,  who  was  perhaps  the  greatest  social  figure  in  America  of  our  time.  Neither  a 
record  nor  a  criticism,  but  a  character  study.  Aim  is  to  make  us  hear  and  see  the  man ; 
a  knowledge  of  his  works  is  presupposed  and  the  delightful  effect  of  the  book  depends 
precisely  upon  this  limitation  of  the  field.     Condensed  from  Nation,  1911.

"Not  of  overmuch  importance  as  a  contribution  to  artistic  and  dramatic  biography. 
Its  main  theme,  the  double  courtship  by  Sir  Thomas  Lawrence  of  Mrs.  Siddons'  two 
daughters,  Sally  and  Maria,  has  long  since  been  established The  value  of  this  corre- 
spondence consists,  in  fact,  in  its  repeated  illustration  of  bygone  manners  and  habits 
of  thought."    Athenceum,  1904.

from  1849  to  1864,  most  of  which  time  he  spent  on  the  continent.  Illustrated  with  re-

Mr  Hervey  has  devoted  the  larger  part  of  his  book  to  a  careful  and  very  musicianly 
analysis  of  Liszt's  chief  works  for  piano,  orchestra  and  voice,  but  in  the  brief  account 
of  Liszt's  life  he  has  been  admirably  successful  in  bringing  out  the  nobility  of  his  char- 
acter.    Condensed  from  Academy,  1911.

Huneker,  James  Gibbons.  Franz  Liszt.  191 1.  Scribner. 
Certain  aspects  of  Liszt's  life  and  art  are  studied  without  strict  adherence  to  chrono- 
logical sequence.  The  result,  though  it  falls  short  of  the  author's  original  plan  for  an 
exhaustive  biography,  is  admirable  and  the  book  gives  a  vivid  impression  of  this  many- 
sided  musical  genius,  his  career  and  the  adulation  which  he  received.  There  are  126 
pages  of  extracts  from  the  writings  of  men  and  women  who  have  known  Liszt,  analyses 
of  some  of  his  most  important  compositions  and  numerous  illustrations.

some  passages  in  Locke's  life,  and  some  phases  in  his  character;  and  Lord  King,  not-

both  eminent  in  English  politics  and  diplomacy  in  the  first  half  of  the  19th  century, 
Castlereagh  being  by  far  the  more  notable.  The  younger  marquis  had  a  long  and

Although  it  has  now  been  proved  that  the  son  of  Louis  XVT  and  Marie  Antoinette 
died  in  1795,  various  pretenders  to  the  title  appeared  after  that  time.  The  book,  which 
is  written  especially  to  champion  the  claims  of  Eleazer  Williams,  the  American  mis-

Lowell,  Charles  Russell.  92  L956 

Life  and  letters  [ed.]  by  E.  W.  Emerson.    1907.    Houghton. 

Lowell  (1835-64)  was  a  nephew  of  the  poet.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  war  he 
applied  for  a  commission  in  the  regular  army.  He  showed  genuine  military  ability  and 
his  commission  to  be  brigadier-general  was  signed  on  the  day  that  he  was  killed  at  the 
battle  of  Cedar  Creek.  To  a  singular  degree  everyone  who  came  in  contact  with  Lowell 
seems  to  have  felt  the  fineness  of  his  spirit.  Mr  Emerson  prefaces  the  letters,  many  of 
which  were  written  to  his  wife  Josephine  Shaw  Lowell  and  to  his  friends  Thomas  Went- 
worth  Higginson  and  John  Murray  Forbes,  with  a  biographical  sketch.

drawn  largely  for  his  material  upon  Luther's  correspondence,  in  which  he  is  revealed 
as  a  plain,  earnest,  sensible  man  with  a  childlike,  religious  faith  and  a  keen  sense  of

subject  is  that  strangest  and  yet  most  typical  of  Italian  despots;  and  his  mouthpiece  is 
a  certain  Pietro  Sanseverino,  a  wholly  imaginary  person,  but  one,  nevertheless,  who  tells

Though  packed  with  detail  and  somewhat  disorderly  in  arrangement,  the  book  succeeds 
in  revealing  his  powerful  personality  and  versatile  genius,  and  affords  glimpses,  through 
the  letters  to  Mrs  Mansfield  and  his  son,  of  a  tender  human  side  which  was  little  known

is  devoted  to  the  life,  practically  commencing  with  Mansfield's  initial  New  York  success 
in  1883;  volume  2  takes  up  his  important  roles  in  order.  The  book  is  authoritative  in 
its  statements  of  fact,  sympathetic  and  just  in  its  estimate  of  Mansfield's  complex  char- 
acter and  the  nature  and  scope  of  his  genius,  and  contains  examples  of  felicitous  de- 
scription and  penetrating  analysis  that  rank  it  with  Mr  Winter's  best  critical  work.  The

In  1 774  he  freed  all  his  slaves  and  gave  them  compensation  for  past  services.  Through

"Some  notes  on  the  private  life  of  John  Stuart  Mill,"  by  Mary  Taylor,  v.i,  p.39-46. 
The  interest  of  this  correspondence,  which  covers  the  period  from  1829  to  1873, 
is  threefold.  The  letters  tell  much  about  Mill's  own  character  which  his  autobiography 
does  not  reveal,  they  throw  light  on  some  of  the  leading  literary  figures  of  his  time, 
including  Carlyle,  Sterling  and  Bulwer,  and  they  give  a  clear  and  direct  impression  of 
the  public  questions  of  that  day  in  England.

esq.,  of  Radway.    1910.    Murray. 

Sanderson  Miller  was  an  English  country  gentleman  with  a  reputation  as  an  amateur 
architect  and  a  capacity  for  friendship  of  which  these  letters  are  a  faithful  record. 
They  seldom  deal  with  public  affairs  but  are  largely  occupied  with  architectural  matters, 
in  regard  to  which  Miller's  friends  often  appealed  to  him  for  advice.  Prominent  among 
the  letters  are  those  of  Deane  Swift,  cousin  and  biographer  of  the  great  dean.  Miller's 
replies  have  not  been  preserved  and  we  thus  get  a  curiously  reflected  portrait  of  the 
man  as  he  appears  in  the  minds  of  his  friends.

Napoleon's  letters  to  Josephine,  1796-1812;  for  the  first  time  col-

from  contemporary  sources  by  H.  F.  Hall.    1901.    Dent. 

These  letters  are  neither  new  nor  of  much  importance.  The  framework  of  the 
book  is  an  elaborate  diary  of  Napoleonic  and  European  history  from  1796  to  1814,  in 
which  the  correspondence  is  inserted  in  batches.  Between  February  1797  and  May  1800, 
no  letters  are  available,  and  another  complete  vacuum  reaches  from  August  181 1  to  the 
date  of  Josephine's  death  in  181 4.  The  collection  may  be  accepted  as  generally  authentic. 
The  topics  of  the  letters  are  always  the  weather,  health,  clothes,  presents,  debts,  grumb- 
lings, and  other  intimate  personal  details,  the  whole  written  in  an  unaffected  good- 
natured  style.  The  exhaustive  notes  are  a  delightful  omnium  gatherum  of  Napoleonic 
lore,  but  are  often  foreign  to  the  context.     Condensed  from  Spectator,  i^z.

"This  book  has  been  read  with  more  enthusiasm,  and  criticized  with  more  severity, 
than  perhaps  any  other  life  of  Napoleon.  The  author  was  not  simply  an  ardent,  but  a 
boundless,  admirer  of  the  emperor.  Hi$  effort  was  to  create  an  enthusiasm  for  his  hero 
similar  to  that  which  he  himself  felt.  He  was  not  too  particular  in  regard  to  his  facts,

M.    Gonnard   devotes   himself   to   the   patient   investigation    of   Napoleon's    literary 

work,  to  his  methods  of  composition,  to  his  authorities,  to  the  comparative  value  of  the 

various  versions  of  the  memoirs,  by  means  of  which  the  Napoleonic  legend  was  built  up. 

He  analyzes  all  the  St.  Helena  literature,  as  well  as  the  memorials  of  Las  Casas,  Mou- 

tholon,  O'Meara  and  the  others,  and  shows  its  relation  to  the  later  history  of  the  Bona-

The  work  of  Alice  Freeman  Palmer  (1855-1902)  was  of  historical  importance  in 
the  development  of  education  in  America.  Becoming  president  of  Wellesley  College 
at  the  age  of  26,  she  shaped  its  policies  in  the  direction  they  have  since  followed.  She 
was  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  State  Board  of  Education  and  for  three  years  dean 
of  the  Woman's  Department  of  the  University  of  Chicago.  All  these  interests  are 
fully  treated  in  this  biography,  written  by  her  husband,  but  they  are  subordinated  to 
the  intimate  and  penetrating  study  of  Mrs  Palmer  as  a  woman.

The  comte  de  Paris  (1838-94),  grandson  of  Louis  Philippe,  was  claimant  to  the

United  States,  served  on  General  McClellan's  staff  and  afterwards  wrote  one  of  the 
most  valuable  of  the  many  histories  of  the  Civil  war.  This  biography  deals  chiefly  with 
his  public  and  political  life.

Pastorius  (i 651— 171 9)  was  a  native  of  Sommerhausen,  Germany.     In  1683  he  con- 

ducted  a  party  of  German  and  Dutch  Mennonites  to  the  colony  of  Pennsylvania  and 

founded  Germantown.     He  was  one  of  the  earliest  opposers  of  slavery.

With  the  exception  of  one  or  two  points,  Mr  Wright's  two  volumes  bring  to  light 
no  detail  of  real  biographic  significance  not  to  be  found  in  Mr  Benson's  volume,  and 
few  not  adduced  in  Mr  Greenslet's  earlier  and  briefer  study.  The  reader  could  arise 
from  the  closest  perusal  of  the  two  volumes  with  little  sense  of  Pater's  peculiar  and 
charming  idiosyncrasy.  It  is,  in  short,  the  failure  of  the  "Boswellian"  method  in  biog- 
raphy when  applied  by  a  man  who  is  not  a  Boswell  to  a  subject  not  a  Johnson.  Con-

The  general  result  of  the  present  study  is  to  support  the  traditional  view — what  may 
be  called  the  Roman  Catholic  view  of  Patrick's  work  and  of  his  relation  to  Rome.  Pro- 
fessor Bury's  method  is  sound  and  his  mind  singularly  unbiassed.  His  mastery  of  the

"The  book  is  one  of  deep  and  painful  interest,  the  only  one  in  existence  that  can 
be  compared  with  Rousseau's  'Confessions'  in  the  fidelity  with  which  it  lays  bare  the 
inmost  secrets  of  the  heart,  but  in  which,  unlike  the  'Confessions,'  the  author  does  him- 
self much  less  than  justice.  He  g^ves  a  far  less  favourable  impression  of  himself  than 
any  impartial  outside  observer  would  have  done,  and  draws  a  portrait  not  so  much  of 
what  he  really  was  at  the  time  of  which  he  writes,  as  of  what  he  seemed  to  himself 
through  the  morbid  recollections  of  the  past  and  the  often  not  less  morbid  entries  in 
his  diary. .  .In  his  'Memoirs'  he  is  no  less  unfair  to  those  whom  he  disliked  than  to  him- 
self."    Dictionary  of  national  biography.

works  usually  neglected,  and  generally  has  provided  her  own  translations.  She  has 
shown  tact  in  arrangement,  and  has  chosen  a  form  of  expression  at  once  sufficiently  en-

in  English,  and  not  likely  soon  to  be  superseded."    Nation,  1910.

Under  the  sympathetic  hands  of  his  biog^rapher,  whose  tone  is  that  of  a  fervent  Re- 
publican, the  story  of  Mr  Piatt's  career  in  the  Senate  from  1879  to  1905  has  become 
almost  a  history  of  national  legislation  for  that  period.  Senator  Piatt  was  one  of  the 
last  of  our  patriarchal  statesmen,  representing  a  kind  of  ancient  severity  and  virtue,  men 
of  deeds  not  of  words.  For  a  score  of  years  he  spent  himself  devotedly  upon  matters  of 
high  public  concern  in  which  little  individual  glory  was  to  be  won.  It  was  he  who  put 
the  Patent  office  upon  an  independent  basis.  Of  the  cause  of  international  copyright 
he  made  himself  the  champion  and  for  years  he  served  on  the  Indian  committee.  Con-

unnatural  that  in  writing  of  the  one  man  who  came  next  to  effecting,  and  did  for  a  time 
effect,  the  much-desired  reconciliation,  he  should  view  everything  too  exclusively  in 
the  light  of  its  bearing  on  his  present  aims... It  results  in  the  omission  of  many  inter-

chiefly  by  his  work  as  an  illustrator  of  Gothic  architecture.  Condensed  from  Dictionary

Reagan  (1818-1905)  was  a  self-made  man  who  rose  to  high  rank  under  the  ancien 
rigime  in  the  South  and  became  the  trusted  adviser  of  Jefferson  Davis.  He  was  a  man 
of  unusually  clear  vision,  of  absolute  honesty  and  few  abiding  prejudices.  The  main 
topics  treated  in  his  book  are  the  writer's  early  life  in  Texas,  the  organization  of  the 
Confederacy  at  Montgomery,  the  Civil  war  as  viewed  by  an  active  and  efficient  cabinet 
officer  in  Richmond,  and  the  problems  of  reconstruction.  The  most  interesting  portion 
of  the  book  is  the  plain  unvarnished  story  of  Reagan's  hardships  and  early  struggles.

Romance  of  an  old  time  shipmaster;  ed.  by  R.  D.  Paine.   1907.  Outing. 

For  almost  100  years  these  letters  and  journals  were  locked  up  in  the  old  ship- 
master's battered  sea-chest  which  had  been  with  him  on  his  voyages  to  the  West  Indies, 
Europe  and  Africa,  from  1796  to  1813.  They  give  a  good  idea  of  seafaring  life  during 
that  time,  accounts  of  adventures  with  privateers  and  pirates,  and  of  a  disastrous  ex- 
pedition to  Africa  for  slaves.

Scott  (181 1-78)  was  an  eminent  English  architect,  a  leader  in  the  Gothic  revival. 
He  was  employed  in  restoring  many  old  English  churches,  notably  Westminster  abbey 
and  Ely  cathedral.  It  is  with  this  phase  of  his  work  rather  than  with  the  erection  of 
new  churches,  public  buildings,  etc.  that  these  recollections  are  concerned.

James  Skene,  a  Scottish  lawyer  with  a  love  of  letters,  was  a  lifelong  friend  of 
Scott.  The  manuscript  of  his  "Memories"  was  offered  to  Lockhart,  who,  from  some 
motive  of  delicacy,  did  not  use  it,  and  it  has  remained  in  the  possession  of  Mr  Skene's 
descendants  ever  since.  A  great-grandson  now  publishes  it,  with  an  introduction  and 
useful  notes.  While  the  pages  reveal  nothing  of  historical  importance,  they  add  greatly 
to  an  appreciation  of  Scott's  character.

Chesterton,  Gilbert  Keith.  George  Bernard  Shaw.  1909.  Lane. 
"Quite  as  much  a  picture  of  Mr.  Chesterton  as  a  study  of  Mr.  Shaw.  The  two- 
edged  quality  of  criticism  has  never  made  a  more  striking  or  amusing  display  of  itself 
than  in  this  analysis  of  the  supposedly. .  .Shavian. .  .characteristics. .  .As  to  the  plan  and 
scope  of  the  book,  it  begins  with  a  characteristic  assertion:  'Most  people  either  say  that 
they  agree  with  Bernard  Shaw  or  that  they  do  not  understand  him.  I  am  the  only 
person  who  understands  him,  and  I  do  not  agree  with  him.'  Then  follow. .  .chapters  on 
Mr.  Shaw  as  an  Irishman,  as  a  Puritan,  and  as  a  Progressive;  but  the  greater  part  of 
the  book  is  devoted  to  'The  Critic,'  'The  Dramatist,'  and  'The  Philosopher.'  Hence  it  is, 
as  was  natural,  more  a  study  of  the  writer  than  of  the  man."    Dial,  1909.

Contains  a  genealogical  chart  of  the  Shaw  family. 

Though  fulsome  in  its  admiration  and  somewhat  disfigured  by  imposing  literary 
allusions,  French  phrases  and  a  journalistic  exuberance,  this  500-page  biography  is  a  docu- 
ment of  value.  It  brings  together  as  many  of  the  facts  about  Mr  Shaw's  life,  character 
and  opinions  as  he  wishes  to  be  generally  known.  There  is  no  other  authority  (1911) 
for  the  interesting  period  of  his  childhood  in  Dublin,  when  the  love  of  music  seems  to 
have  been  his  first  interest,  nor  has  so  much  been  told  before  of  his  early  literary  work 
in  London,  of  the  genesis  of  the  Fabian  Society  and  of  his  journalistic  career.  Contains 
numerous  and  interesting  illustrations.

Contents:  The  man. — The  Fabian. — The  playwright. — The  philosopher. 
This  little  book  will  afford  great  satisfaction  to  the  admirers  of  Bernard  Shaw;  for 
the  author  is  an  enthusiastic  disciple  of  that  brilliant  but  erratic  propagandist.  It  is 
cleverly  written  in  a  style  that  often  suggests  what  the  faithful  call  the  Shavian  attitude 
and  manner,  gives  an  apparently  authoritative  summary  of  his  various  theories,  political 
and  the  like,  and  furnishes  some  significant  facts  which  may  help  to  account  for  a  good 
many  of  them.     Condensed  from  Nation,  1907.

"Sheil  played  a  distinguished,  if  not  a  decisive,  part  in  the  history  of  his  times. 
He  was  amongst  the  foremost  of  Irish  tribunes,  and  was  in  the  House  of  Commons  a 
successful  speaker,  of  a  peculiar  kind.  In  our  Clubs  and  in  London  society  his  caustic 
tone  and  sparkling  sayings  were  familiar  to  many,  while  his  literary  accomplishments

from  which  to  write  the  poet's  biography.  The  result  was  a  surprise  and  a  disappoint- 
ment. Hogg  took  unwarrantable  liberties  with  his  materials,  and  Shelley's  representa- 
tives, fearing  that  the  prosecution  of  the  work  would  result  in  stereotyping  a  caricature, 
withdrew  the  documents  on  which  Hogg  had  depended  for  continuing  it. 

"Hogg's  offences  as  a  biographer  are  g:rave...Yet  how  much  less  we  should  have

one  who  would  know  Shelley;  and  yet  for  one  who  would  know  Shelley  fully  and  aright 
it  is  wholly  insufficient.  It  is  a  fragment  not  only  in  the  sense  that  it  tells  no  more

Among  the  memorabilia  of  Shelley's  friends  the  memoirs  which  Thomas  Love  Pea- 
cock contributed  to  the  pages  of  "Fraser's  magazine"  will  always  hold  an  important 
place.  These  memoirs  have  only  once  been  reprinted  and  have  been  for  many  years  out 
of  print.  Mr  Brett-Smith's  introduction  gives  an  account  of  Peacock's  association  with 
Shelley.  Peacock's  record  contains  many  particulars  that  are  not  to  be  found  in  other 
accounts  of  Shelley,  but  in  his  desire  for  impartiality  he  sometimes  appears  to  fail  in 
sympathy.  As  a  clear  and  circumstantial  chronicle  of  the  chief  events  in  the  poet's  life 
it  is  especially  valuable.     Condensed  from  Outlook  (London),  1910.

"Mr.  Smith  undertakes  to  realise  to  us  what  Shelley  was  as  a  man  and  as  a  writer, 
introducing  the  leading  biographical  facts  more  by  way  of  illustration  than  of  regular 
narrative.  This  design  is  carried  'out  with  a  fair  amount  of  consistency,  and  a  moderate 
instalment  of  success;  and  it  was  worth  trying,  for  one  cannot  say  that  the  same  sort 
of  treatment  has  as  yet  been  applied,  in  any  substantial  form,  to  the  career  of  Shelley 
...Mr.  Smith  tells  us  a  few  things. .  .which  are  new...  others  which  are  new  without

while  the  general  sketch  of  events,  though  making  fully  a  third  of  the  bulk,  is  quite 
without  distinction.  The  pervading  tone,  moreover,  is  persistently  eulogistic,  though  not 
offensively  so;  and  one  looks  in  vain  for  any  critical  appraisal  of  Sherman's  notable

Sidney,  English  patriot  and  politician,  was  the  son  of  the  second  earl  of  Leicester. 
After  the  discovery  of  the  Rye  house  plot  he  was  imprisoned  in  the  Tower  of  London 
on  the  charge  of  being  implicated,  and  was  eventually  executed.  This  biography  con-

don Press. 

As  a  memorial  of  friendship  it  is  worthy  of  a  place  among  the  classics  of  human 
history.  It  is  the  source  of  the  classical  story  of  Sidney's  death;  it  is  the  best  likeness 
of  the  young  "president  of  learning  and  chivalry"  which  has  been  left  us  by  a  con- 
temporary; and  it  is  a  remarkable  testimony  by  an  experienced  statesman  to  the  great- 
ness of  Elizabeth's  government.  The  whole  work  commands  admiration  as  an  archaic 
but  noble  expression  of  the  same  spirit  of  chivalry  that  animated  Sidney  and  Spenser.

"It  requires  a  very  clear  conscience  and  perfect  guilelessness  to  expose  one's  self  as 
he  has  done;  but  having  done  it  the  reader  sees  an  earnest  man  of  complete  purity,  dis- 
charging his  daily  duty  with  singleness  of  purpose,  and  reaching  fame  by  conscientiout 
and  intelligent  exercise  of  brain  and  hand.  But  the  story  is  more  than  an  autobiogra- 
phy: it  not  merely  illustrates  the  evolution  of  a  South  Carolina  lad  into  one  of  the  most 
useful  and  conspicuous  of  modern  benefactors;  it  is  local  history  interpreting  rural  life 
in  that  section  fifty  years  ago."    Nation,  1885.

Letter  to  Lord  Mahon;  being  an  answer  to  his  letter  addressed  to 
the  editor  of  Washington's  writings.     1852.     Little. 

Lord  Mahon,  afterward  earl  of  Stanhope,  accused  Sparks  of  having  made  un- 
warranted additions  and  omissions  in  the  editing  of  Washington's  writings.  A  con- 
troversy followed  in  which  Lord  Mahon  was  forced  to  withdraw  his  most  serious  charges. 
In  this  letter  Sparks  further  defends  and  explains  himself.

life-record,  beginning  in  the  workhouse,  where  he  was  cruelly  treated,  continuing  in  a 
hand-to-mouth  existence,  a  voyage  to  America,  soldier  life  in  the  Civil  war,  the  ups  and

matters  of  most  vital  interest.  He  describes  some  of  the  scenes  which  stand  out  most

Sir  Leslie  Stephen  (1832—1904)  was  preeminent  as  a  critic,  thinker  and  philosopher 
and  as  editor  of  the  "Dictionary  of  national  biography."  Mr  Maitland,  who  was 
Stephen's  intimate  friend  for  many  years  and  his  kinsman  by  marriage,  tells  with  much 
detail  the  story  of  his  life  and  brings  together  many  of  his  letters.  One  of  the  most 
interesting  chapters  is  devoted  to  Stephen's  first  visit  to  the  United  States,  as  some  of

Letters;  ed.  by  Sidney  Colvin.    4v.    191 1.    Scribner. 
Biographical  edition. 

These  four  volumes  constitute  a  definitive  edition  of  Stevenson's  correspondence. 
Here  the  two  series,  "Vailima  letters"  and  "Letters  to  his  family  and  friends,"  are 
united  and  set  in  chronological  order,  with  the  addition  of  some  150  new  letters.  The 
result  is  a  comprehensive  view  of  Stevenson's  life  and  interests  as  revealed  in  his  letters. 
The  new  letters  relate  for  the  most  part  to  his  early  life  and  the  correspondents  of  this 
fresh  instalment  are  mainly  Sidney  Colvin,  Mrs  Sitwell,  W.  £.  Henley,  and  the  writer's 
parents.

Moors,  H.  J.    With  Stevenson  in  Samoa.    1910.    Small. 

These  memoirs,  while  adding  little  of  importance  to  our  knowledge  of  Stevenson's 
character,  are  distinctly  interesting  because  of  the  angle  from  which  they  are  written. 
The  author,  a  shopkeeper,  dealer  in  real  estate,  and  local  politician  in  Samoa,  had  an 
interest  in  his  subject  which  was  rather  neighborly  than  literary.  Book  bears  witness  to 
the  friendliest  intimacy  and  to  the  fact  that  Stevenson  was  able  to  mix  familiarly  with 
all  sorts  of  men  on  their  own  ground.     Condensed  from  Nation,  igio.

world  of  which  she  formed  a  part,  and  her  diary  yields  some  striking  portraits  of 
eminent  people.

Tidour  de  la  Cartrie,  Toussaint-Ambroise,  cotnte  de  la  Villenihe.  92  T166 
Memoirs  of  the  count  de  Cartrie;  a  record  of  the  extraordinary 
events  in  the  life  of  a  French  royalist  during  the  war  in  La  Vendee 
and  of  his  flight  to  Southampton  where  he  followed  the  humble  occu- 
pation of  gardener;  with  an  introduction  by  Frederic  Masson,  appen- 
dices and  notes  by  P.  A.  Pichot  and  other  hands.     1906.     Lane. 

The  result  of  the  painstaking  investigations  of  M.  Pichot,  one  of  the  most  skilful 
unravelers  of  historical  problems  connected  with  the  revolution  in  France,  establishes 
the  genuineness  of  these  memoirs  and  their  substantial  accuracy  beyond  reasonable  doubt. 
Their  interest  is  great  and  they  have  considerable  historic  value,  although  the  author 
may  not  have  played  a  preponderant  role  in  the  military  events  he  describes.  The  pub- 
lisher's account  of  the  discovery  of  the  manuscript  is  one  of  the  romances  of  publishing.

Theodore  Thomas's  life  (1835—1905)  was  for  several  decades  the  life  of  a  musical 
frontiersman.  He  was  not  only  one  of  the  first  to  give  New  Yorkers  their  musical 
education,  but  he  soon  extended  his  mission  to  a  number  of  other  cities  by  establishing 
his  musical  "highway,"  and  finally  his  orchestra  in  Chicago.  In  the  annals  of  music 
there  are  few  chapters  so  interesting  as  those  in  which  Mrs  Thomas  relates  how  the 
great  conductor  gradually  enlisted  the  sympathies  of  the  captains  of  industry  in  that 
city,  persuading  them,  with  the  aid  of  his  friends  to  erect  for  him  a  special  building.

poets.  Mr  Macaulay  has  done  well  with  a  rather  difficult  subject.  The  comparison  of 
Thomson's  attitude  toward  nature  with  that  of  his  contemporaries  and  successors  is 
especially  well  carried  out.

the  title  "My  memories  of  Mark  Twain." 

Its  first  and  longer  part  is  W.  D.  Howells's  memories  of  the  great  humorist;  the 
second  part  is  a  collection  of  the  same  critic's  reviews  of  his  books,  beginning  with  that 
of  "The  innocents  abroad."  The  genial  spirit  of  the  immortal  fun-maker  himself  has 
touched  the  hundred  pages  of  reminiscence  with  characteristic  gaiety,  and  it  is  a  vivid 
picture  one  gets,  not  simply  of  Mark  Twain,  but  of  a  rare  friendship  between  two  richly 
endowed  natures.  The  record  has,  of  course,  a  charming  anecdotal  interest.  Condensed

The  object  of  the  publication,  the  editors  tell  us,  is  not  to  supply  matter  to  the  his- 
torical student,  but  to  present  the  nation  with  a  portrait  of  Queen  Victoria.  With  this 
aim  such  letters  have  been  selected  as  exhibit  the  development  of  the  queen's  character, 
her  political  relations  with  her  ministers,  and  her  domestic  relations  with  her  husband 
and  the  members  of  her  large  family  at  home  and  on  the  continent  Especially  in- 
teresting are  the  lights  thrown  on  the  four  men  who  formed  her  select  body-gjuard,  so 
to  speak — Lord  Melbourne,  her  uncle  Leopold,  king  of  the  Belgians  and  his  former

Wagner's  death.  "Mein  leben"  closes  with  the  year  1864,  but,  though  a  torso,  it  takes  its 
place  at  once  among  the  world's  great  autobiographies.  It  is  very  full  in  regard  to 
Wagner's  childhood  and  youth  and  much  of  it  is  devoted  to  a  narrative  of  the  ill  luck 
which  pursued  him,  through  the  greater  part  of  his  career,  because  of  his  unfortunate 
determination  to  be  a  composer.  The  author  tells  a  plain  tale  sparing  himself  no  more 
than  others  when  occasion  for  censure  arrives.  He  gives  glimpses  into  the  workshop  of 
his  genius  and  throws  a  flood  of  light  on  the  musical  conditions  of  his  time  in  most 
European  countries;  and  finally,  what  many  readers  will  relish  most,  there  are  many 
comments  on  great  musicians  who  befriended  or  opposed  him — Liszt,  Schumann,

The  most  important  biographic  contribution  to  musical  literature  since  the  beginning 
of  the  century,  with  the  exception  of  Wagner's  Letters  to  Frau  Wesendonck.  It  con- 
tains a  large  number  of  the  master's  letters  which  have  never  before  been  printed,  and 
it  gives  so  many  interesting  glimpses  of  life  behind  the  scenes — ^both  literally  and  figura- 
tively— that  in  a  short  time  it  has  reached  its  fourth  edition.  Neumann  began  his  career 
as  a  baritone,  50  years  ago.  He  became  a  Wagner  enthusiast  during  the  Vienna  con- 
certs in  1862  and  in  1876  he  became  joint  manager,  with  Aug^ust  Forster,  of  the  Leipzig 
Stadttheater,  and  from  that  time  on  he  played  a  role  in  the  life  of  Wagner,  the  im- 
portance of  which  has  heretofore  been  known  to  few.  The  Leipzig  performances  were 
a  brilliant  success,  and  so  were  those  Neumann  gave  at  the  Victoria  Theatre  in  Berlin. 
Neumann  afterward  gained  Wagner's  consent  for  his  project  of  a  traveling  Wagner 
theatre.  The  adventures  which  befell  them  in  Paris,  London,  and  the  other  European 
cities  down  to  Italy  take  up  the  remaining  pages  of  Neumann's  reminiscences.  Con-

and  literature  into  England.  We  have  many  interesting  glimpses  of  their  friends, 
among  whom  were  Froude,  Charlotte  Bronte,  Bunsen  and  Dr  Martineau.

"Mr  Willson  has  visited  almost  every  scene  in  which  Wolfe  moved,  in  Britain,  on 
the  Continent,  and  in  America,  and  has  used  great  diligence  in  gathering  information 
and  unearthing  letters.  The  new  information  is  small  in  amount  and  about  trifling 
things;  but  the  mass  of  correspondence  here  for  the  first  time  collected  is  a  real  en- 
richment...  It  almost  constitutes  the  book,  besides  giving  its  chief  value;  for  the  author's 
own  contribution  consists,  over  a  great  part  of  the  volume,  of  little  more  than  con- 
necting paragraphs."     Athenaum,  1909.

was  ambassador  at  Madrid  from  1892  to  1900. 

"Seldom  can  a  book  have  borne  a  more  accurate  title.  Sir  Henry  gives  an  outline 
of  his  diplomatic  and  Parliamentary  career,  throws  in  a  few  notes  of  travel  with  some 
sidelights  on  the  political  history  of  his  time,  but  his  main  interest  is  personal,  and  he 
ambles  gently  on  from  man  to  man  that  he  has  known."    Nation,  190S.

Smith,  Logan  Pearsall.  Life  and  letters  of  Sir  Henry  Wotton.  2v.

"Prose  works,  poems  and  letters  of  Sir  Henry  Wotton,"  v.2,  p.412-454. 
Sir  Henry  Wotton  (i 568-1 639)  is  familiar  to  lovers  of  English  literature  through 
a  few  enduring  poems,  particularly  the  "Character  of  a  happy  life,"  and  the  memoir  by 
Izaak  Walton,  prefixed  to  his  collection  of  Wotton's  works.  Wotton  passed  the  active 
years  of  his  life  in  high  diplomatic  office  and  ended  his  days  as  provost  of  Eton.  Mr 
Smith  has  changed  his  vague  image  into  a  vivid  portrait.  He  has  come  only  a  little 
short  of  producing  a  literary  masterpiece.  He  devotes  two  hundred  and  twenty-five 
pages  to  a  compactly  detailed  biography  of  Wotton.  This  is  followed  by  Wotton's  let- 
ters, more  than  half  of  which  are  here  printed  for  the  first  time.  Condensed  from 
American  historical  review,  1908.
